Tagging for Cost Allocation

To organize and identify your Amazon MQ resources for cost allocation, you can add
metadata tags that identify the purpose of a broker or
configuration. This is especially useful when you have many brokers. You can use cost
allocation tags to organize your AWS bill to reflect your own cost structure. To do
this, sign up to get your AWS account bill to include the tag keys and values. For
more information, see Setting Up a
Monthly Cost Allocation Report in the
AWS Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

For instance, you could add tags that represent the cost center and purpose of your
Amazon MQ resources:

Resource

Key

Value

Broker1

Cost Center

34567

Stack

Production

Broker2

Cost Center

34567

Stack

Production

Broker3

Cost Center

12345

Stack

Development

This tagging scheme allows you to group two state machines performing related tasks
in
the same cost center, while tagging an unrelated broker with a different cost
allocation tag.
